* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Infernal law requires that each legion devil receive a payment in coin regularly for their service. Never mind that there's nothing to ''spend'' it on in Baator, the law demands it. It's believed this clause was put in place to keep any one devil from just building up a massive army of legion devils, as they wouldn't be able to afford it.

* RapeIsASpecialKindofEvil: He is ''very'' fond of visiting the material plane, pulling DemonicPossession or KillOrReplace ([[PossessingADeadBody or both]]) on some hapless male mortal, and violently raping their spouse or partner and implanting a cambion child within them, whose birth is typically agonising and fatal for the unfortunate victim as well (the half-fiend child themselves can then be little more than a glorified pawn in their father's schemes, if he pays them any mind at all). Even if he is on the material plane for some other business, he'll indulge in this depravity if he has some time to spare.

* BalkingSummonedSpirit: He hates mortals, and he especially hates being summoned away from his tasks and his master's court to fulfill whatever inane service they want him to do. As a result, he has worked hard to erase all knowledge of himself from mortal knowledge; if someone should summon him anyway, he just tortures them to death.

* DropTheHammer: Sometime prior to ''Descent into Avernus'', she bested the demon lord Kostchtchie and claimed his warhammer, Matalotok the Frost Father. Since it was crafted by the frost giant god Thrym, it has powerful enchantments relating to ice and upgrades Zariel's cold resistance to cold immunity.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Sees it as her duty to fight the Blood War so demons don't spill out of the Lower Planes and take over the rest of the Multiverse. To do so, she's willing to condemn the lives of many innocent people, or resort to evil deeds in what she sees as her duty. She's had just enough MotiveDeacy to become a FallenAngel, but still remembers part of her reasons for doing so.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Zariel's charge into the Blood War when she was still an angel was a shortsighted plan that had disastrous results. She underestimated the powerful of both forces, and didn't consider the possibility of her forces being mentally unprepared to see the horrors of the conflict. When many of them deserted and fled back to the material plane by locking the portal back, it was too late.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: How she started her fall, wanting to fight against the hordes of the Abyss.



* FallenHero: Zariel used to be a heroic angel who put the lives of others before her own. After becoming an archdevil, she's become a ruthless leader who cares not for the lives of others, and exploits those for her own desire to win the Blood War. Deep down, part of her regrets her fall, but she's convinced herself of the importance of her actions, and without outside factors reminding her, remains dedicated to her infernal position.



* StartOfDarkness: Possibly. The earliest known event involving her was the Trial of Asmodeus, when she got impatient and pushed past the scores of angels waiting to give testimony. This started a fight, causing Primus to end the trial early without delivering final judgement over Asmodeus. Knowing Asmodeus, [[ManipulativeBastard this may have been his intention all along]].

* FantasticRacism: A lot of Hell's inhabitants were not happy that one of the Hells was ruled by a night hag rather than a devil. This may be why Asmodeus chose her to dispose of her when he needed a free Archdevil position for his daughter.
